Small Babies With Headbands

I'm not really bothered about them, if that's how people want to dress their child.

Incidentally, I am currently in France where lots of little girls seem to wear them, with aplomb! I think the trick is to match the material with the outfit, (a bit like bras have to match knickers in France!)

Joseann I first saw babies with headbands on in Southern Europe 50 years ago, likewise pierced ears on little ones.

(I couldn’t leave the house if my underwear wasn’t matching 🤣)

I think you are missing the point. It’s not whether it’s harmful or not to have a headband because babies wear hats and bonnets. It’s about how ridiculous they look!

They may look ridiculous to you, but others obviously like them.

Very chic!

I don`t like the headbands either, but I really hate to see tiny babies with earrings.

In many countries it is the custom to have baby girls ears pierced at just a few months old and has been for decades. My SIL had her ears pierced as a baby in Germany, my friend same with her French mother and recently we had Czech neighbours and they had her ears done straight away.

I like baby boys to look like babies not old men. I see tiny ones wearing shoes (they can’t even walk), jeans, waistcoats and flat caps!!

My friend, who is Croatian , had her baby photographed in a headband , similiar to the little girl in Joseann's picture, nearly 30 years ago.
The little girl was very unusual looking( in a good way) and the headband suited her.
Hopefully bonnets were more the order of the day when the weather demanded it.
I never thought of the headband being harmful . It didn't seem to have harmed my friend's now 30 year old daughter who's as smart as paint.
Each to their own ; this is fashion for the very young I think.

I don't like them, they look dreadful to me, but it's up to the parents.

I’ve always assumed they were to show the baby was a girl. It can be difficult to tell whether young babies are boys or girls. (My elder son was usually assumed to be a girl, because he had golden curls. Do only girls have golden curls?)

Both my two loathed anything on their heads so I'm sure my daughter wouldn't have put up with a headband.

I don't think parents have the right to pierce their child's ears !!!! The ears belong to the child not the parent - it is boardering on assault! Why not wait till the child is old enough to want their ears pierced and old enough to consent y the procedure.

Can't stand them but it's not my business

when I see a baby with one of these headbands, I think poor little mite, I imagine if I had one on my head I'd be wanting it off

Think they’re flipping horrible.

They look almost as daft as little happy dogs with bows in their hair

They are ridiculous and common.

I'm just amazed that I haven't seen a baby with a tattoo yet.

They seem to be the polar opposite of how things are today, with gender neutral, unisex people and the use of "they" rather than he or she.

They are pointless bits of girlie frivolity that serve no purpose.

It makes a change from eyebrows, false eyelashes, fillers, hair extensions, false nails, chicken fillets and that good old bashing standby, flat screen tellies.

Flappergirl - that would be illegal. I assumed they were just to indicate that the baby was a girl.I don’t see a problem as long as they are very sot the parents ensure that the child isn't left alone with the headband on. I met a 7 month old today who is already disliking anything on her head and resists having her coat put on!

i meant ‘very soft’

I personally think they look rather silly. Thankfully my daughters never used them on my granddaughters. Never had them in my day😂

My grandson was brought home from hospital at two days old wearing denim jeans and matching jacket.
